Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Three-dimensional Cd(II) Coordination Polymer [Cd(μ_(1,3)-SCN)(μ_3-pco)]_n(pco=Pyrazine-2-carboxylate 4-oxide Anion)

1 INTRODUCTION For a long time much research interest has been focused on coordination polymeric compounds[1] because these new coordination polymers may afford new materials with useful properties, such as catalytic activity, micro-porosity, electrical conduc- tivity, non-linear optical activity, magnetic coupling behavior and so on[2]. Thiocyanate anion is a very useful bridging ligand, and many complexes[3～5] are synthesized with it as bridging ligand and some of them exhibit interesti…

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Three-dimensional Cd(II) Coordination Polymer [Cd(μ_(1,3)-SCN)(μ_3-pco)]_n(pco=Pyrazine-2-carboxylate 4-oxide Anion)

The three-dimensional complex [Cd(μ1,3-SCN)(μ3-pco)]n has been synthesized with μ1,3-SCN? and pco as mixed bridged ligands. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 10.3777(16), b = 6.2592(9), c = 13.150(2) ?, β = 97.317(2)°, V = 847.2(2) ?3, Z = 4, C6H3CdN3O3S, Mr = 309.575, Dc = 2.427 g/cm3, F(000) = 592 and μ = 2.804 mm?1. The structure was refined to R = 0.0255 and wR = 0.0550 for 1712 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). In the crystal the Cd(II) ions are coordinated by μ1,3-SCN? and μ3-pco bridge ligands to form a three-dimensional structure.
